3. Eliaquim Mangala – FC Porto
Mangala has been the subject of some heavy speculation this term as a number of top European clubs have been making frequent trips to the Estadio Dragao to check up on his progress. Cross city rivals Manchester United have been one of those to be linked, but City had already come close to landing him on transfer deadline day in January. However, he stayed put and now City still have a few months to ponder whether they actually want to make their move again. He is a raw talent, but his performances against Spurs in their recent Europa LEague clash only served to show that he is still very much a work in progress.
